4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FIRST USE OF THE MACHINE

FILLING UP THE WATER RESERVOIR

Press the unlocking levers available under the drip tray and pull the machine as it is shown in the figure.

Extract the espresso machine out of the cabinet sliding on the special slides.

6

Hardness of water:

Before filling up the water reservoir, make sure that the decalcifying Brita filter has been soaked in cold water for at least 30 min. (however follow the instructions printed on the filter package). After this operation insert the filter into its proper seat inside the reservoir as it is shown in the figure.

If the machine will not be used for long periods, change the water in the reservoir and drain the boiler: the machine has to dispense about half a litre of water (refer to the chapter”Hot water”).

Brita filters are available at any retailer of electrical household appliances, at our AfterSales Service Centres or at the Shops of Authorized Spare Parts.

Extract the reservoir as it is shown in the figure; then fill it with spring water (approximately 2.5 litres).

Insert the reservoir again in its own housing caring to match the two clutches of the bottom.

7

Insert the machine into the cabinet pushing slightly until “CLIK!” can be heard: this is the signal that the machine has been locked.

FILLING UP THE CONTAINER OF COFFEE BEANS

Press the unlocking levers available under the drip tray and pull the machine as it is shown in the figure.

Extract the espresso machine out of the cabinet sliding on the special slides.

8

AEG-Electrolux PE8038-M, PE8038-A User Manual

Pour approximately 200 g of coffee beans into the container availabe on the right side of the machine

Insert the machine into the cabinet pushing slightly until “CLIK!” can be heard: this is the signal that the machine has been locked.

SIGNALLING WATER MISSING IN RESERVOIR

??This machine is equipped with a sensor detecting the presence of water in the reservoir. If there is no water, the machine will signal it with the proper indicator, then it cannot operate until the reservoir is filled up again.

9

PRELIMINARY STARTING: FIRST USE

After filling up the water reservoir, open the steam/water cock as it is shown in the figure.

Switch the espresso machine on by keeping the on-off/stand-by button pressed until the red LED stops flashing and is kept on. This indicator will signal the operating condition of the machine (flashing: STAND-BY; lit ON; out OFF).

At the same time the red indicator of heating will be on; this LED indicates the heating phase of the water inside the boiler. Now pressing the key as it is shown in the figure will enable the machine to dispense some hot water, then wait until the air inside the boiler has completely exhausted through the steam/water nozzle.

10

After the water has flowed out (if necessary, repeat the draining operation several times), close the knob again.

As soon as the heating LED goes out, the machine has reached the right temperature and it is ready to make coffee. Only the on-off indicator is kept on.

RESETTING STANDARD VALUES

This espresso machine is calibrated in factory to make the optimum Italian espresso, as approved by the coffee University of Naples and complying with ILLY standards. On the contrary, the values set for weak coffee comply with German standards.

If these standard values have to be reset, merely switch the machine on by pressing both the on/off and hot-water buttons at the same time.

11

A faint flashing of all the LEDs will signal that the factory values have been

reset.

N.B.: The standard values only concern the quantity of water required for each cup of coffee. Then the measures of ground coffee will not vary.

CAUTION – ADJUSTING THE GROUND COFFEE

This machine is calibrated in factory for an ideal level of coffee grinding. The success of a good espresso depends on this grinding level very much. A too “coarse” grinding will lead to a coffee flowing too fast, with no cream nor body. On the contrary a too fine grinding will lead to a very strong coffee flowing “by drops” with a “burnt” taste. Remember that the time required for an espresso will range from 15 to 25 seconds.

Press the unlocking levers available under the drip tray and pull the machine as it is shown in the figure.

12

Extract the espresso machine out of the cabinet sliding on the special slides.

Turning the proper adjusting knob (A-10) will modify the grounding level. Turning the knob in clockwise direction will lead to a fine grinding for a stronger coffee. Turning the knob anti-clockwise will lead to a coarse grinding for a weaker coffee. The set grinding level can be read on the lid of the coffee case: bigger circles mean “coarse” grinding level (fastflowing weak coffee), whereas

smaller circles mean “fine” grinding level (slow-flowing strong coffee).

Insert the machine into the cabinet pushing slightly until “CLIK!” can be heard: this is the signal that the machine has been locked.
